Fixed post materal I got free

Did you know you posted the address of the post - thus it just loops back to itself going nowhere. Might want to edit it if you really want an answer! :laugh:

This last summer I had a piece of Corian cut for this dining room bay window. Even though they had made a precise template before cutting back at the shop they had to make a smig change here and there. I watched and asked and they were using carbide blades and belt. It's tough stuff so no I wouldn't cut on it with my good knives.

If its corian or a corian knockoff, you can cut it with carbide wood cutting tools. You can drill it and sand it and round the edges with a block plane. Try a small edge with a rasp, or saw, or block plane and see how it goes. Cutting on it with a kitchen knife is going to hurt the corian more than it hurts the knife, but you can get the blade marks out with elbow grease and sandpaper because the colors go all the way through the product and aren't just on the surface. Same scenario applies to burn marks. Watch the dust though, it's very fine.
